Medicine Description feldoral 20mg
Feldoral 20mg Supp is a medication that belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its primary mechanism of action involves the inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which play a crucial role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that contribute to the inflammatory response, pain sensation, and fever. By inhibiting these enzymes, Feldoral effectively reduces the production of prostaglandins, leading to decreased inflammation, pain relief, and a reduction in fever. This action allows it to alleviate discomfort associated with various inflammatory conditions.
